There is already Buyer Protection and this new requirement is redundant. I get it, some people are not capable of handling things on thier own and need assistance when problems arise, or want extra assurance, and this program is great for them. It is also great to deter fraudsters. However for sellers that know thier items & buyers who know what they are buying this only adds frustration to the transaction, long delays in recieving the item, and disappointment when an item is sent back to the seller. I am dealing with an upset buyer who has had this happen and is very fearful the item bought from me will be rejected for some trivial reason. For example if something is marked 14K it will be returned if it is tests to be 13.9K, Which is within the 14K standard acceptable range. Only 14KP stamped gold is exactly 14KT gold. This is causing alot of stress for antique jewelry sellers like myself and I am not going to sell my high end items here until the program ends or becomes optional.
